The New Kid is a short story written and performed by the grade seven and eight students at Pleasant Hill School in Saskatoon which has a 95% native enrollment. The students were asked to write a script detailing racial incidents that they had witnessed. Since they are the majority they saw actions by their own group as racist. This is the story of a new kid that comes into their world. He is not one of them. He is white and they are divided as to whether they should accept him or not. Their arguments are universal, but the situation is reversed. In the end the maturity and fairness of the young people stands out as an example for older and more bigoted individuals.
